Nesting With Grace

Primary Bathroom Before and After- Utah Ranch Home

Finally sharing our primary bathroom!! While it has been 95% done since November, we had a couple of faucets that were backordered for a really long time, and they just arrived! The bathroom before was interesting. While I didn’t hate the wallpaper, the orange carpet, especially by the toilet had to go. I think this bathroom made Kevin’s first reaction to seeing the house a “no”. But I could see the possibilities. Ready to see the before and after of our primary bathroom???

I linked all the sources at the end of the post, from tile, paint to decor!

Primary Bathroom Before-

Primary Bathroom After-

Here is the bathroom after! It is a long footprint, so harder to photograph the entire room. So, hopefully you can get a feel for the space. I also linked all the sources at the end of the post!

We had the vanity custom made, and our cabinet designer was like “don’t show anyone this” because he didn’t want to have to build it again! ha! Time consuming. Happy that he was willing to make it for us for the first time.
He did such a good job with the reeded wood. Absolutely love how it turned out. We did soapstone on the counter, same as as our kitchen.
I drew on the wall how I wanted the backsplash to look with that little curve on the back. We did a really large floor mirror that could hang on the wall horizontally. I wanted to be able to utilize that entire wall with a mirror, instead of two separate mirrors that would have been really far apart with a big empty space in the middle section.
We couldn’t do traditional vanity lights with the pocket door (no room for electrical) so instead we used these semi-flush mount lights on the ceiling. I really like how it looks, different and fun for this “different and fun” 1970’s home of ours.
We did terracotta tile on the floor in a herringbone pattern (we did seal it with a floor sealer). I wanted it to look old and have a lot of character to match the style of our home. We used two vintage rugs by the shower and tub.
Across from the vanity is our tub and shower. A tub was a requirement of mine! I love a bath.
We went with Vintage Tub for our cast iron double ended tub and the faucet set (in oil rubbed bronze). We had the base painted in satin ebony. This is our second tub from Vintage Tub, we did a claw foot cast iron tub in our Connecticut home. They are amazing to work with!
I should first mention that we did have to hang this Moravian Star Pendant after inspection, since it hangs a little low, I just know not to stand up right underneath it. But gosh, it makes a statement in this bathroom!!!
After a few months I was like, I really need to get some shades on this window! Had to army crawl in and out of the tub! I did these cordless roman shades, also put them in our basement.
The window ledge as been a great spot for decor and supplies for the tub.
This window get’s really good lighting, hence all the plants!
Instead of a traditional towel bar I used these vintage inspired accordion racks.
I wanted to do the tile 3/4 of the way up the wall as a backsplash by the tub, plus add texture to the wall. In order for the tile to not look like it just stopped, I asked our finish carpenter to add a piece of wood to the top as a picture ledge. So happy with how it looks. Makes the bathroom feel cozy and an extension of our bedroom (wood matches our wood beams).
I share the exact details on the wood ledge on this blog post and art ideas!
I used a command hook to keep the art from falling off the ledge, but appear like it is just leaning.
The toilet is behind this door. Nothing really to see besides the toilet.
This side has the shower on the right, our closet to the left and primary bedroom straight ahead.
Simple shower, with gorgeous tile! Wish you could see how pretty it is, not coming through in photo. We did a steamer in the shower that actually just got up and running a few days ago, we will report back as we use it more.
Wish I would have thought to add a shelf for the soap and hair products. But this caddy works. Love the shower head and the pressure it puts out.

    Simply Stunning. Might be my favorite room so far!
    Question…I am struggling right now with fixtures. When we moved in fifteen years ago we chose rubbed bronze for everything. Now I see so much black, that I feel I need to change everything to black (going to change it anyway). But now I see you mixed your metals…rubbed bronze for the tub, black for the shower and also mixed in the gold. Do you have a rule of thumb you follow?
